Default Gasoline question

I need some technical assistance,
I picked up my 07 gt vert Wednesday night, I have filled the tank with regular gas..
Is this OK?
I don't plan to race but I don't want to hurt anything. Are you guys running high test for daily driving?
Thanks

You don`t neet to run higher octane unless your car calls for it. [sm=icon_rtfm.gif]

the manual calls for 87 octane (pg 215). no
need to run any higher, until you change the
tune in your car

Run whatever fuel optimizes your average fuel economy. That's what your engine likes and will live longest with.

Stock, they are made to run on regular. Higher octane does not give you more power, it just controls detonation. regular gas is actually more volatile than premium
